Can we add one or two random plains or random steppes to the map rotations on one of the cRPG NA battle servers?

I know some people will freak out if they have to use terrain instead of buildings for their strategy, but I'd like to see cRPG incorporate some open field battles into the mix.  Who's with me?

Yeah I can deal with one random battle map (plain or steppe) out of the 100 or however many maps are played, i miss playing on random open field maps.

LOL "use terrain", you must be a equus africanus asinus rider.  I don't blame you.  If I was cav, I'd want some space too.

WTH, I typed don-key and it gave me latin.  Educated damned forum.

I would really like to see the random plains replaced with random steppes because it usually generates a smaller map with an OK amount of hills and plenty of cover.

I play cav and infantry. 

I like open field battles because it requires teamwork for any success.  Ifantry need archers and pikemen to protect against cav, also your own cavalry can be used to protect your footmen. 

I just get tired of people camping buildings and corners.  If you're that into buildings on every map there are these crazy game modes called "siege".  I have no problems playing maps with buildings on them, I'd just like to see some variety.

Let me guess, you're not a team player so you don't like to work with your teammates and use their specialties? Wow, this ad hominem is easier than I thought!

I despise fighting cavalry half of the time, and I love open-plains maps to be sprinkled amongst normal maps. Why not?

He have urban crowded messes, and random villages, why not other stuff to spice things up?
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Been supporting this for several months! Hope you get it implemented, seeing as they only put 4 plains maps out of 70 on the EU servers.

LOL, smoke another joint crack baby.  I think you're shooting more for assumption than ad hominem.  Ad hominem presupposes a knowledge of your past positions or biases.  Assumption is taking something for granted, or guessing.  Something we both did.  I, by your admission did so correctly,  you did so incorrectly.

Last time i wanted to play some building maps, i indeed went to siege just to face 3 plains maps in a row there (yeah, was temporary as they were sorting new list of maps, Punisher explained that to me in other post), but it still happened, so your "go siege" argument is rendered invalid. HA!  :mrgreen: Also, some people might not like the siege idea and preffer battling (for instance: me).

I do mostly play infantry, i do not mind having to suffer thru some plains maps once in a while (suffer only if i play alone or with just a few reasonable people, if there are good people who knows what they do and/or some clanmembers, its difference), but i am getting tired of the cav lobbying for more and saying: Just do teamwork. Yeah, it is REALLY easy to organize crowd and both you and me know, that most of the pubby players will never listen to what you write and just headlessly charge/camp something.

Never expect anyone on the battlefield to help you or to play strategically, unless you know the people. ofcourse there might be some exceptions, but face it, not many.

What the people also seem to forget: we have several classes, each class enjoys different type of maps. There is plenty of space for cav on most of the village maps, so...

As a cavalry player I say NO to this, random plains/steppes are not fun for any class except cavalry and honestly I find them incredibly boring because people just mass pikes.
The maps should be balanced for all classes, so no random plains and this also means no city maps full of narrow corridors either.

The amount of random plains maps are the reason why I already don't play on official servers. I play this game to hit people with swords, not constantly dodge cav and the shitload of projectiles flying through the air.

To be honest, you'll never really get pubbies to use any sort of strategy anyway. I love plains for strat battles, but they are worthless for pub play.
